Chapter 13: 8 Years Old

Everyone in the chat room began discussing when they saw this.

Might Guy said, "What else can Sasuke practice next? Should he practice physical skills like me and Xiao Li?"

Hatake Kakashi replied, "Taijutsu is indeed one direction. After all, in another world, Sasuke has no guidance in other areas."

Uchiha Fugaku commented, "It would be a waste of Sasuke's talent to only exercise to strengthen his body."

Namikaze Minato added, "But Chakra Nature Transformation isn't easy without the teaching of a Jōnin. It's hard to figure out on your own."

Hatake Kakashi shared, "I was a Chūnin at 6 years old, but I didn't develop Chidori until I was 12 with Mr. Minato's help."

Konoha's White Fang, Kakashi's father, had committed suicide when Kakashi was young. He mastered Lightning Style Nature Transformation and completed Chidori's A-level ninjutsu under Namikaze Minato's guidance.

But it's obvious that Sasuke from another world doesn't have this condition. Without graduating early, a Jōnin won't just drop from the sky to teach him Chakra Nature Transformation, right? Jōnin aren't as common as Chinese cabbages!

Orochimaru pointed out, "If this issue isn't resolved, even though Sasuke has Chūnin-level strength now, he might stay at this level for a long time."

Namikaze Minato suggested, "Maybe he'll meet a teacher who values him. For example, like when I met Teacher Jiraiya."

Hatake Kakashi remembered, "At that time, Senior Jiraiya was out of contact in the Ninja World..."

Jiraiya interrupted, "Ahem, I was collecting materials!"

The golden-framed screen continued to play.

"The next period of time..."

"Sasuke spends a lot of time reading books."

"His usual practice gradually focuses on the physical training of the body."

"For other aspects of cultivation, Sasuke tried to find methods in the school library's books."

"But it is obviously very difficult."

"Moreover, there are very few records in this area."

"During this time, although Sasuke has increased his knowledge and thinking ability by reading a lot of books, he has not made any progress in cultivation."

Many people sighed when they saw this. It was as expected. Even someone as talented as Uchiha Sasuke from another world needs guidance from a distinguished teacher. Otherwise, his growth rate will be severely affected.

If it continues like this, although Sasuke in the parallel world won't fade away, his genius level will undoubtedly be overshadowed.

"Half a year has passed."

"Sasuke is now 8 years old."

"During this time, his body has grown rapidly."

"He performs gymnastics exercises daily."

"With double food preparations from Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino, Sasuke's height is growing quickly."

"He has clearly surpassed his peers."

"In terms of other practice areas, Sasuke can only continue to read books daily to gather information."

One day, Sasuke found a book without an author's name in the school library. It was titled "Summary of Ninjutsu Principles," but the author's name had been blacked out. This confused Sasuke a bit. However, the title suggested the book might contain information he needed.

He opened the book and began reading, "In theory, if the amount of Chakra, the quality of Chakra, and the ability to control Chakra are all strong enough, one could perform any ninjutsu. The quality of Chakra mainly refers to its Nature Transformation..." Sasuke's eyes brightened as he read on. This book might just be the key to his need for further training!

The book detailed Chakra control on the level of meridians and even acupoints. It stated, "If one's Chakra control is strong enough, they could control the flow direction, speed, and volume of Chakra in any meridian or acupoint." This level of control could eliminate the need for seals to manage Chakra flow. In essence, it was Ninjutsu!

Orochimaru recalled, "I remember, I seem to have written this book." Back when he was in Konoha, some of his books still circulated there, albeit without his name. Seeing the excited look on Sasuke's face, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

"Sasuke from the parallel world is truly a genius at understanding things," he remarked.

Jiraiya was skeptical. "Can one complete advanced practice just by reading books? I don't believe it."

Orochimaru replied, "That depends on who wrote the book."

Jiraiya scoffed, "Impossible! No one in the entire ninja world history has mastered Chakra Nature Transformation by reading a book. If that Uchiha Sasuke can do it, I'll find your book and eat it!"

"Remember what you said, Jiraiya," Orochimaru warned, to which Jiraiya fell silent and felt a twinge of guilt. Despite her disbelief, the thought lingered.

Kakashi was a prodigy, becoming a Genin at five, a Chūnin at six, and a Jōnin at twelve. Still, his Lightning Style Nature Transformation was learned from joining Minato's class. Even if Sasuke in the parallel world was a genius, how could he learn Chakra Nature Transformation just by reading? It seemed impossible.

Sasuke, after spending more than half a day with the book, contemplated his next training steps: On one hand, he would work on his ability to control Chakra, and on the other, its quality—Nature Transformation. He mused, "Enhancing Chakra control could, in theory, lead to sealless ninjutsu. It's intriguing and definitely worth trying!"
